anything Julie wanted him too - they kind of suited Eddie and Sue!!! But after the other horses names we did find the names Bob and Julie a little on the funny side!

The horses were thankfully very well looked after and very placid. Warpaint was a very kind horse and didn’t put a foot wrong. We headed off into the canyon and again this was stunning scenery, there definitely is something about Utah that is pretty special in terms of breathtaking scenery. We all rode in a single line and just after the start of our ride, we each had the chance to pose for a photo before continuing on. We were glad to have picked the early ride rather than the afternoon one, as the temperature was pleasant, but you could still feel the temperature rising by the minute. It was weird to be riding western style, I had only done it once before back when I was a nipper and riding all of the time. Rob has done really

well with his riding and really enjoys it, which is cool. The only one thing was that because it was a canyon we were riding through it meant that you had to go back the same way, which wasn’t really a problem due to the amazing scenery. Cherokee, Andy’s horse had a bit of a problem as to where he was in the line and made a few bee lines for a different place in the line, once he was in the place he liked he seemed to settle down and be quite contented. There were a couple of alarming points though, one was when Eddie’s Bob, who was placid as anything, decided that he wasn’t going on the path in front of him but the one to the side, thus taking Eddie head first through the nearest bush!!! After a quick response by the riding guide they were back on the track and away from any more bushes!!! Bob was not one to be rushed and continued the journey back in a very laid back manner, unfortunately Sue’s Julie was not so contented to be stuck behind slow coach Bob and decided to take matters into her
